Two more senior executives at Everbright Securities (601788.SHA) resigned Saturday on record fines for a trading error two weeks ago, Bloomberg reported, citing a statement from the state-controlled brokerage. Assistant President Yang Chizhong and Board Secretary Mei Jian tendered letters of resignation after they were fined US$98,000 and US$33,000, respectively. The firm was fined a total of US$85 million (RMB523 million) after an investigation into US$3.82 billion (RMB23.4 billion) of erroneous buy orders found it traded on inside information. Ex-president Xu Haoming resigned four days after the error was discovered.
